From the document:
In this chapter, we try to provide a roadmap towards the new trajectory of Caribbean convergence. A new trajectory should be sensitive to current and emerging regional and global trends, and, out of necessity, we begin by identifying the emerging international political and economic trends in Section 2 that provide a backdrop against which the discussion on Caribbean convergence is squarely placed. Against this backdrop, Section 3 discusses the need for a new strategy of convergence. Sections 4 and 5 provide the conceptual framework of Caribbean convergence. Sections 6 through 8 spell out the pillars, strategies and delivery mechanisms of Caribbean convergence. Section 9 highlights the role of Trinidad and Tobago in this process. Section 10 concludes by pointing out the urgent need for a regional synergy of economic logic and political logic.
